Wow. I have to say...the winning story was...well...it wasn't a story.

I'm not at all impressed by the winner and the first item on the "short list". I didn't bother reading anymore.

Sorry you guys didn't win, but based on what they chose as a winner, it would have been tough to figure out what they were looking for.

As for posting your entries on the site, I'd say, "Go for it." (As long as there isn't some rule that says you don't give up the rights to your submissions when you send them in, that is.) We just need a specific place for the non-Pathfinder fiction. :D

Actually, the winning story was mine. I feel so vacuous now.

I see no problem with that. Non-Pathfinder Fiction and such and such. I'll post an announcement thread leading to the three pieces.

I'm confused. I thought the winning story was the "Body Search" by Simon Barron. Is that you? It's not the fiction you posted here. I thought that piece was more of an actual story.

I'm really hoping that you're joking, because otherwise I've insulted you, Zux...definitely not my intent. :oops:

Well we can't always win, right?

je well it will be next time :)

the more important thing about this was the exercise.. I liked the end result for Neptune's World.

cof cof... to tell the truth I haven't checked what was the story... when i remembered that the winners appeared the 16th, i began digging for them... I just added the link after making sure if any of us was on the list... to little time... I need to check it later... anyway I am proud of what Neptune's World become, so I have no problems with it.
